I met Sergeant Harrison about 5 years ago when he brought his favorite disaptchers Krispy Kreme Donuts at about 3am, he went around the room and introduced himself to each and everyone of us telling us that if we ever need him just give him a call. I have spoken with him on several different occasions since then, and he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. The DUI units were his babies, and he was so proud of them. I personaly will miss him very much. God Bless ALL of our Brothers who put themselves on the line for us each and everyday. I love you all...Tammy

To the family and friends of Sgt. Ron Harrison,

I am very sorry for your lost. My prayers are with you at this time.

Our Greatest Fear

Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer's final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it's our greatest fear,
and once again, I hold back a tear.
They patrol in the state, city, county and town,
in uniforms colored white, green, blue and brown.
The shape of their badges may vary,
but it's a symbol that they all, proudly carry.
They leave for work with a kiss goodbye,
but some don't come home, no matter how hard they try.
To uphold the law is the job that they pick,
with such high aspirations, why must some die so quick?
They leave behind loved ones, family and friends,
after their lives have met tragic ends.
Some die in crashes, others hearts not too stout,
to many have been lost when gunshots ring out.
Our Heavenly Father has called them home,
no more these dark streets do they roam.
Through trial and error they have given their best,
please Lord, now grant them eternal rest.
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer's final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it's our greatest fear,
and once again I hold back a tear.

What an unbelievable act of cowardice by Sergeant Harrison's killer. To invite 'suicide by police' by murdering a police officer is repulsive.

To the children of Sergeant Harrison, we share your grief, as only those who have lost an officer father can do.

To Sergeant Harrison's family, friends, co-workers, and community, we offer sympathies at this senseless loss.

Sergeant Harrison, you will not be forgotten; rest in peace, sir.

Sgt. Harrison was a very nice man. My father worked with him on the force and when my father retired he would come by everyday to see him and just chat. My prayers go out to the entire Harrison Family.

Dear Harrison Family,
If i may borrow a few words from A.Lincoln that sum up our feelings for your loss.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic he died to protect.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

A. Lincoln

God bless brother, keep an eye on us and we will take the watch from here.

The Michigan Deprtment of Corrections Honor Guard is saddened to hear of the senseless death of another fine law enforcement officer. Sgt. Harrison was killed by a lawless thug who had no respect for the law or human life. It remains a sad commentary on our society. Brave men and women risk their lives each day to keep us safe, while people like Sgt. Harrison's killer run free. We will not forget you and will in our thoughts and prayers as we carry out our duties to help make society a safer place.
